I think this is my favourite report cover of all time. Any others?

brilliant--now all I need is a version of this for university course evaluations smh

1/6 Our research team just released a gridded, high-resolution (~220m) historical and projected mid-21st century climate and water balance dataset for the western US! Find the data and info here: osf.io/w6jvk/ #Climate #ClimateData #GlobalChange

Academics have been perfecting our skills at flighting fascism during faculty meetings.

hmmm... re soil carbon: you being #greenhousegaslit? this resonates with many of my grad student's findings

A veritable whos-who of the scientists behind our physical climate understanding of net-zero have a new paper in Nature, making the case for "Geological Net Zero" where fossil CO2 can only credibly counterbalanced by permanent removal: www.nature.com/artic...
